Nebdar Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Have anybody seen Swoopstriker on Balmorra that you have to kill to earn the Tyrant of Balmorra Achievement?? I am currently playing an Imperial character maybe it is on Republic version of Balmorra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClandestineCyph Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I found a Ferocious Swoopstriker (Elite) next to a group of Swift Swoopstrikers at -1998, 1631. I killed it but it didn't unlock. It's weird that it is just called Swoopstriker without an adjective with it. I'm thinking it is the Ferocious Swoopstriker and it's glitched.

CFDfireman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I found a Ferocious Swoopstriker (Elite) next to a group of Swift Swoopstrikers at -1998, 1631. I killed it but it didn't unluck. It's weird that it is just called Swoopstriker without an adjective with it. I'm thinking it is the Ferocious Swoopstriker and it's glitched. I killed that one three times last night, the last of which was after relogging my character, all without the achievement unlocking. Google searches have come up with nothing as yet for this problem's resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebdar Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 So few days have passed anybody seen.. my.. ba.. Swoopstriker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhelmetz Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The place where the Ferocious Swoopstriker is now, I remember there being a champion there a while ago. Maybe they removed the champion that was associated with this kill achievement and forgot to update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthVengeant Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Just killed the Ferocious Swoopstriker. and the Swift Swoopstrikers near it...no Achievement credit!!! Edited May 3, 2013 by DarthVengeant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theStirge Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Maybe it's like the Yozusk Platesmasher on Dromund Kaas that seems to have a respawn timer of approximately whenever the server resets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVengeant Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Maybe it's like the Yozusk Platesmasher on Dromund Kaas that seems to have a respawn timer of approximately whenever the server resets. No, because I have killed the Ferocious Swoopstriker twice and 4 Swift Swoopstrikers. No credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theStirge Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 No, because I have killed the Ferocious Swoopstriker twice and 4 Swift Swoopstrikers. No credit. What I was saying is, maybe the one specific creature that you have to kill only spawns like once a day or less, and by the time you get to its spawn point, it's already been up and been killed and you've never seen it. Not every creature of a certain type will give codex entries. There are tons of yozusks all over Dromund Kaas. They're frickin' everywhere, ranging from Weak to Champion, but the one and only yozusk on the whole planet that gives the Yozusk codex entry is the Yozusk Platesmasher over near the datacron by the world boss, and it seems to only respawn when the server resets, or else it has a ridiculously long respawn timer. I don't know that that's what's going on with swoopstrikers, I just offered it as a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connavan Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I did the same thing. killed the F.swoopstriker and nothing. BW forgot to update it and it is a bug for sure. Maybe they don't want people to get 100% achievements as this will force them to come up with another crazy grinding idea. And good job Bioware for not releasing these achievements at release. Just seems to me that 'bugtown' hasn't nearly enough bugs as the rest of the game. It's annoying and frustrating. Fix your stuff bioware plz. Im an achievement whore :} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partylikeaturtle Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Bump because I want to know if this achievement is obtainable. Also: the Yozusk Platesmasher over near the datacron by the world boss, and it seems to only respawn when the server resets, or else it has a ridiculously long respawn timer. err, what? A week ago when I was completing all the DK achievements, I arrived at this beast just as someone else was killing it. I then queued for warzone, got an instant pop, and when I came back out of the warzone, the beast was already respawned. Doesn't seem like it could be that unreasonable of a respawn timer.

This situation has gotten better with the server merge. Stupid thing still has a crazy long spawn timer, but it will spawn for each new instance of the planet. What probably happened is that when you came back out of the WZ, you got put into a relatively fresh instance. Either that or they upped the respawn rate, which is definitely possible, but it is certainly true that people used to camp the stupid thing for hours, when the game first came out.

ClandestineCyph Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 As per the 2.1.1 Patch Notes: •The "Tyrant of Balmorra" Achievement can now be completed, as it now updates as intended when players defeat the Ferocious Swoopstalker. My original guess was correct. We shall have our achievement soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
